<%' Defining some constants to make my life easier! (Same as Sample 1)

' After this, strictly used as if it were a Const.

' ADODB Constants
' You can find these in the adovbs.inc file
' Do a search for it and it should turn up somewhere on the server
' If you can't find it you can download our copy from here:

' It may not be the most recent copy so use it at your own risk.

' Note: If the data was a little more important (or of any value at all
' to us!), we'd probably check some other criteria or at least check to see
' if it's the oldest record in the recordset. Since it's not and we really
' don't care, here goes!
'Step 4:
'Make sure we actually have a record to delete.

' property setting if you're doing this in batch mode. For this
